ROCK LIKE THIS @ High Vibes festival – Sunday 20th September, 2009
Playing over three stages over the entire day Peacock and Rock Like This are proud to present Local Legend…
PARIS WELLS + BAND LIVE. (Support by Mourning Sons, Monkey and Smile on Impact).
————————–PARIS WELS—————————–
Every now and again an artist like Melbourne’s own Paris Wells comes along seemingly just to make life hard for people who have to pigeon-hole things for a living. Even MySpace’s three category fool-proof plan misses the mark by about ten categories on this one. We’re talking about a girl whose influences range from NWA to Led Zeppelin; who built up an incredible street-level buzz throughout Melbourne’s underground circuit and then took a break to jet off around the country to support Justin Timberlake; who has the style and grace of Audrey Hepburn with the attitude of Keith Richards. This girl is Oxford and Webster’s worst nightmare, but she’s going to become your eardrum’s best friend.
In late ’07, Paris swung the spotlight onto herself through the release of her debut EP, Mum Hasn’t Slept Yet, and suddenly St. Jerome’s favourite resident became a household name amongst the in-crowd at bars across the country. Off the back of this notoriety, Paris hit the road and mesmerised crowds at Meredith Music Festival, Big Day Out, Falls Festival and Sydney Festival with a voice that could turn gay men straight and straight men insane.
“Keep It’s” suggestive and infectious first single, Dat Du Dat, has taken radio hostage over the past couple of months and, in true Paris Wells’ style, has crossed boundaries from ultra-hip community stations to the country’s largest commercial networks. The album, produced by True Live’s RHyNo, is destined for the same fate – accessible, catchy songs infused with a jaded swagger that will kick you in the throat and make you love it.
And now she joins forces with the Peacock Hotel and the High Vibes festival to bring in the good vibes in style.
————————MOURNING SONS————————-
The mourning sons are a four-piece indie rock/grunge band based in Melbourne. the mourning sons began working with producer Dean Dirt (Magic Dirt, The Red Sun Band, Violent Soho) in late 2008 and are now putting the finishing touches on their self-funded debut album ‘pipedreams’. Engineered by Brent Punshon (The Nation Blue, Legends Of Motorsport) at Head Gap Studios in Melbourne, ‘pipedreams’ is an album with a large emphasis on live performances and spontaneity.
The mourning sons – ‘pipedreams’ is set to be independently released mid 2009. In the meantime the mourning sons will continue to perform their original brand of foot stomping rock n roll at various live venues in and around Melbourne.
———————-ROCK LIKE THIS—————————–
Then outside on Bastings St. its the “ROCK LIKE THIS” DJ tent. The “Rock Like This” Crew have been running events for 4 years now touring the best in the world of Break beats, and Dubstep. And this year the crew joins forces with Peacock Hotel and High Vibes to bring you a stage of pure party music made for your dancing shoes. Featuring Brainstorm, Deviant, Citizen.com Vs Matty Blades, Andy Hoffman, Flip and Llupa.
————————BEER GARDEN—————————–
And finally why not hit the Peacock Beer garden between 2pm – 6pm. Peacocks Beer Garden is disputably the best one the North side of town. Providing ample seating, and outside bars there is nowhere else to spend the Summer.
And for this High Vibes Peacock brings you Grooves in the Beer Garden with DJ Shu and Snowie!! Playing a funked up mash of hip-hop, old school party beats, with a dash of rock and Roll!!
